Rhett Ellison nabbed all three of his targets for 20 yards Friday in the Giants’ preseason loss to the Steelers.

He and first-round rookie Evan Engram were on the field roughly the same amount, though Ellison showed a stronger rapport with quarterback Josh Johnson. All of his catches came on check-downs and screen passes as the Giants were unable to establish anything in the deep passing game. Ellison will catch a few passes here and there but ultimately he’ll be more of a blocking tight end for the G-Men. Aug 11 - 10:08 PM

Giants TE Rhett Ellison (calf) is expected to be ready for training camp.

Ellison sat out OTAs and minicamp. There's not much concern over his health status. Ellison’s contract should lock him into a blocking role in two tight end sets. Jul 1 - 7:04 PM

Giants signed TE Rhett Ellison, formerly of the Vikings, to a four-year, $18 million contract with $8 million guaranteed.

Ellison logged 260 snaps for the Vikings last season, mostly seeing time as a blocker. Will Tye was an absolutely atrocious blocker for the Giants last year, so Ellison should help in that respect. The G-Men needed some depth at tight end after letting Larry Donnell walk in free agency. Mar 9 - 4:10 PM

It is a miraculous recovery for Ellison, who tore his patellar tendon in January. He might not be ready for Week 1, but removing him from the PUP suggests the Vikings expect him back early in the season. With sixth-round rookie David Morgan playing well behind Kyle Rudolph and MyCole Pruitt, the Vikings could end up keeping four tight ends. Tue, Aug 23, 2016 11:59:00 AM
